SA AKIN MAGSISISMULA ANG PAGBABAGO

(Change: It starts with me)

“Ask not what the country can do for you but together we ask what we can do for our country.” It was one of the catchiest lines I’ve read from a book that Mr. John F. Kennedy has uttered before. It was absolutely true!

In my four years of stay here in this institution which I called home already, it seems that every day of my life is déjà vu. I might see changes but most of the time it is going to the rocky road where it’s not meant to be. The progress seems to be a turtle-walk. Now, the call for change is again bragging our hearts. I have been wondering if change is still possible.

I want every one of you who could pass this short message of mine, to please inculcate not just in your mind but more on your heart that CHANGE must originate in yourself. I assure you that CHANGE is easy but it takes time. Student leaders kept on saying “AKO ANG MAGSISIMULA NG PAGBABAGO” and that is you will be the one to initiate change but that must not be and should not be the first thing. “SA AKIN MAGSISIMULA ANG PAGBABAGO” is much and far better than that one because in this statement the change will initiate within you.

My fellow students who kept on asking for more from this institution please pause for a while and think, HAVE YOU EVER DID SOMETHING GOOD FOR THE SCHOOL OR IS IT THE SCHOOL THAT IS DOING EVERYTHING FOR YOU?

I may talk like I knew everything and I’m innocent about what’ happening but I came to realize that we are the hope of this school to uplift it to a higher level and to be in line with those competitive schools when it comes to quality of education and progress. Now, my fellow students together we stand and start the CHANGE within us, it’s never too late just take one big step.

Again, SA AKIN MAGSISIMULA ANG PAGBABAGO.

KANNAWIDAN FESTIVAL

Kannawidan festival???

I’m honest to admit that it was something new for me. That’s why when Ma’am gave an activity about it which is to write an essay. Out of the blue I found myself feel liked hanging. How can I write something about it if I don’t even know what really it is? But that wasn’t bothering me and here is the product of that confusion at first.

ILOCOS SUR ROCKS!

This festival is one of the most awaited event here in Ilocos and even here in Vigan. When the said event has come, everyone was wearing their smiles. All of their negative feelings were vanished. This celebration is not just about over-flowing foods, expensive things and countless number of visitors. It is about how you remember the one who is being praised for your festive and for us to be still united and to keep a good relationship with others.

Next time, I would go and explore more about this Kannawidan Festival.

MY DREAM

MY FUTURE

“Sky is the limit!”

I used to compare dreaming to this phrase because dreaming is something free. But I ended to a point and a single question or even questions rose up from my mind. Is dreaming without motion enough? Would it be a dream, nothing but a dream for the rest of our lives? These questions left unanswered. I was puzzled. I was helpless but to take a deep sigh.

A decade and a half from now, I can visualize myself entering one of the dirtiest worlds where I think I belong really. I can see myself wearing gorgeous attire and walking through the isle of a courtroom. I would be the man who would give fairness and equality, a man who would dissolve discrimination in the country, a man who would bring back the clean image of the justice, a man with dignity and heart for those little voices in the society and a man who would go against all the odds just to prove and make right always reign. To become a lawyer and not a liar someday has been my dream since then.

I’m planning to take Political Science as my future career track for me to have an over-view of what on LAW and let it be my stepping stone towards a tougher rode which is the world of LAW.

I have dreamt hard and I I’m going to make things happen. It won’t be a dream forever.
